Good. Like it's preceeder, the film successfully managed to keep the audience entertained with loads of action sequences. The film was never boring, but it was never extremely satisfying. There always felt like it needed something more to keep the ball rolling rather than repetative references to the first one. The ending was left-opened, which was to be expected. It was alot darker than the original too which was a major plus. The effects weren't so clearly fake either.
The plot was just an extention to the screenplay adaption of one of the most popular video games ever. It's a simple plot, so it was a no brainer there would be sequences similar to the originals.
The acting was good. Milla Jovovich was great again, really shining a kick-ass attitude as Alice. Sienna Guillory seemed to somewhat mimick Alice which was a minus.
Overall "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" was entertaining and packed off action, but somewhat repetative. My rating is 3/5.
